Do you work second or third shift?

Is the equipment at this real pool hall much better than the bars?

I can't recall if you want to make friends or play good pool from your prior posts.

Bar pool league has got to be the worst way to play pool. From time on table standpoint, to equipment standpoint, to level of play standpoint, etc.

Is there no one to ever play at the pool hall? Do they have a weekly $5 entry tournament you can enter? If not, can you start one?

Are you anywhere near Shane? Can you take a trip to his town and play in the local room in his town?

When leagues suck find a steady game. Problem solved and you'll get better.

So wait, is that the room in your town, Jaime_lion? or not?

[iusedtoberich]

Well if it is, they have a $12 tourney every Saturday, or maybe every other Saturday. And in October, they are hosting a Shane vs Earl race to 15 exhibition. I found this out after 3 minutes on their FB page.

I am a professional martial artist I work for the super secret defense initiative or SSDI. I go to bed when I am tired and wake up when I am not. I do not really have a schedule. I am somewhat of a sleeper agent ready to be woken up at any time when the government needs me.

This is a first I am hearing about this. I might have to try traveling the 238,900 miles and go to this thing.

Lol... Be sure to pick the right day of the year and save yourself a few thousand miles.

When I used to spend more time here, I could remember the old usernames and play Spot The Troll a lot better than I have been lately. Jamie's posting style reminds me of one from yers ago, that I just can't remember the name of...

Always knew you were a lunatic.

Get a job. Buy a house. Put a table in the basement. All your freakin' problems are solved.

It worked for me.

Basically I found out that in the league I am in if I or my opponent makes the 8 ball on the break we have to either spot the 8 ball or re-rack.

Do you guys love the game so much that you play even though there are all the issues I have with pool? I am not sure if I love anything that much.

Then you said this:

No league plays on those tables. All the leagues play on coin op tables. They do not repeat do not open the tables up. There is nor really an in house league. You either play at bars or you don't play league. APA plays 8 ball win on the break.

My only pool hall is only open at 4 pm and closes at 11 pm most nights.

Then followed up with this:

It looks like you said by your own admission you play APA and 8 on the break wins the game, why do you need to retrieve the 8 ball?? The game where the 8 is made on the break is over, time to put your quarters in and start a new game. Are you saying you believe that during league if someone makes the 8 on the break and wins the game but all the other balls are still on the table yet that you should be able to retrieve the 8 and start another game?? If that is the case it sounds like you feel that you are angry that you did not get your money's worth because so many balls are left on the table. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, just trying to get to the bottom of the actual issue here.

I seem to recall at the start Jaime said they were afraid of being raped outside of a pool hall. In another post there was mention of carrying mace for self-defense. Since reading those posts I have always assumed Jaime was female. Unless you have some kind of PTSD from prison, I don't think it's normal for males to spend a lot of time worrying about being raped.

Perhaps I have led a sheltered life where these things aren't a major concern, or perhaps I'm just not as pretty as Jaime.

I hope he shares his story about the first time he squeezes a booby.
